Hungarian Holocaust survivor has surprising message to Netanyahu concerning Palestinians
Change language:
In an appearance on the UK’s ITV show “Good Morning Britain,” 88-year-old Stephen Kapos spoke about the horrors he endured in Hungary during 1944–45, warned of potential mass killings of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli prime minister, and accused Israeli politicians of distorting Holocaust memory. You can watch the full interview with the Hungarian Holocaust survivor below.
Hungarian Holocaust survivor decries Israeli invasion
Stephen Kapos, who is now 88, said he feels physically ill when he turns on the television and sees the daily atrocities taking place in Gaza. “In lots of ways, the suffering of the Palestinian people rhymes with the sufferings that we had gone under,” he said during the interview. He warned that if world leaders, like UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, merely wait on decisions from international courts, the genocide could be completed long before any action is taken.
Kapos asserted that claims of defeating Hamas or freeing hostages are just pretexts, arguing that no one rescues hostages through bombing. In reality, he said, Netanyahu is just trying to save his own skin.
“The West is complicit in its silence”
According to the Hungarian Holocaust survivor, the West is guilty of not speaking out forcefully enough against what is happening in Gaza. He also criticized mainstream media for either failing to report on the issue or for lacking neutrality in their coverage.
Kapos said that Israeli politicians are deliberately twisting Holocaust symbols for political purposes. He recalled how at a UN Security Council meeting, Israel’s delegates wore yellow stars in protest against Hamas and to call for the hostages’ release. He called this a complete misunderstanding of the Holocaust and the meanings behind its symbols.
With all due respect, what makes this gentleman qualified to get airtime for his views?
Half of my family was murdered in the Shoah. Do I get an article to rebut this guy’s arguments? Or would that not jive with The Narrative?
It is called Humanity, something that looks you dont have or know. Today it was confirmed famine in Gaza, something that was already known from months, cause the plan os to kill as many palestinians, not with guns but with hunger. Its very hypocritical to hear the Israelis to say “never again” when do to exactly what happened in the WW2. And then they play to the victim when they are criticized by their actions.
Netanyahu, Putin, Bashar al Assad, various Serbian war criminals and genocide deniers, Iran (Ahmadinejad), you name it. It is almost becoming a requirement to either be wanted for war crimes or otherwise be responsible for mass murder and repression to be invited to Hungary or be met with abroad with proclaimations of “mutual respect”. This is the sordid nature of the government that represents Hungary.
